Ādisōke [Ottawa's New Central Library] | U/C

[jitterbug]

Good to see a (mostly) favourable reaction to the design on this board. It's good to have something positive to look forward to architecturally-speaking in this town. When was the last significant public building built in Ottawa? (I'm not counting the NAC reno as it's really just an addition to the existing structure.)

I think it was the Ottawa Convention (Shaw) Centre, so by 2024 when the new library is to open, we'll be overdue. Perhaps by then there will be other construction happening at Lebreton too, and hopefully the Trinity Centre will be rising as well.
